Polarizing microscope

A polarizing microscope allows to image and characterize birefringent samples.

Polarizers are positioned above and below the sample. A birefringent sample modifies the polarized light, which makes it visible even when it is transparent. For certain samples, it also allows to determine the alignment’s direction of their molecules.
